Office Mammography

Dear Private Practitioners on the hallowed List:

My associate and I are desperately in search of real life experience by others of your ilk regarding "in-office" mammography.

Specifically is it worth it financially/emotionally as far as hassle(s) of:

1) refinishing the office with the requisite lead-lined walls, etc.

2) ACR certification

3) liability

4) reimbursement

5) scheduling and any disruption to existing ob/gyn patient appointment flow

6) practice promotion/convenience to patients

7) use of this as a "walk-in mammography" facility for women who are not established patients of the practice

As always I appreciate the privilege of having you folks as a resource...

Hugo

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
